TheReverend's 12wk Transformation Log 2012

[Golip]

I love your thread dude

Your daily motivation pics are awesome

Think I'm gonna start doing this to keep myself in check

[TheReverend]

Update for last night:

Mustard/maple chicken was effing amazing. Like, seriously AMAZING. Also had baked vegetables on the side along with whole wheat pasta that was 17g of protein per serving (eff yeah!)

Anyway, this "fast" is killin it... to the point where I need to remind myself I'm only taking in about 700 cals during the day time, so tonight I'm gonna spoil myself with some Moe's (Chipotle is too far away). Kinda excited to update pics and stats on Monday but don't want to spoil anything ahead of time. Quarterly stats and pics will be awesome.

Moving on with....

Thursday:

Broke IF with another ON cake batter shake with simply smart milk. Still crazy delicious and making this process a lot easier than previously anticipated.

Plan for day:

Move legs to tomorrow since these concentration lifts are coming with lower set volume to combine with arms and have a bigger "test flow" day. Walk a couple miles and run a couple more. Have another shake around 4 and then grab Moe's Joey steak burrito for dinner (http://www.moes.com/food/nutrition/calculator/) along with their chips but a cherry coke zero to drink. Will feel like cheating while still on a deficit lulz.

Fridayyyyyyyyyy:

Okay so today started a little weird. Broke IF early today. Daughter won the Principals Award at school so it was a lunch at her school with the Principal, so it was for a worthy cause. Anyway, rest of the day went as follows

Workout (2 scoops of white flood pwo):

Box squats 3x10 (deeper than box using a bench)
Straight bar curls 3x10
Skull crushers 3x10
Donkey calf raises 3x10
Weighted incline abs x 51
Preacher curls 3x10
Tri push-downs (rope) 3x10

Post workout shake 2 scoops of ON (strawberry banana bought with the cake batter and hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh also for this) and creatine.

Tonight for dinner: Another shake :/ Gonna be starving by solid meal tomorrow night

Here's her when she's not Tebowing:

[pUniCepts]

Congrats to daughter.

[TheReverend]

Congrats to daughter.

Probably Monday. Got a full day tomorrow and might not get to it.

As for today:

Going to be breaking IF late. We're going to the circus at 1130. Nbd. When I do it'll be with 2 shakes throughout the day and will probably do Chinese for dinner to refuel a little.

[TheReverend]

As for daily motivation, I think we should all be more productive and start learning something:

I'll update stats with pics tomorrow or Monday so it's quarterly.

did you measure your starting bf?

[TheReverend]

did you measure your starting bf?

No, but it was probably mid-upper 20s (srs)

[TheReverend]

Quarterly Updates:

Weight Loss - 11 lbs (was more, but I went to TOWN on some Moo Shu Pork and Sesame Chicken last night, so probably a little bloated too)

Strength Update - Don't know :/ Thanks to shoulder injury can't really "push it". I hope to be able to update this category in 3 weeks at the half way mark though!

And progress photos:

[TheReverend]

Still a lot of work to go, but a pretty dramatic amount of slimming in my face and mid-section. 11 lbs over 3 weeks is a pretty good pace, but will obviously start to get harder to maintain. Hoping to get low teen bf% by halfway mark so I can press the hard part over the final half.

you can definitely see a difference in your midsection and your arms are more vascular

Obviously a lot more drastic when flexed. Might do that at the half mark for fun. Want to lose double digit lbs again this quarter. If I do that I can spend the entire second half losing 1 more set of double digit lbs and I should be in single digit bf %s then.

strong facial expressions lol

[daveel]

Think i love you bro (no homo)

In for the hngggggg and motivation srs. repped and subbed.

[TheReverend]

Monday (start of hypertrophy week):

Flat BB Bench 1x15 and then stopped due to tenderness of shoulder/chest injury and moved to...
Machine Bench 2x15
Cable cross overs 3x15
"Pec Deck" 3x15
Diff chest machine 3x15
Guillotine Press 3x15

Shoulder held up well enough to get a solid chest workout in. Hoping that next week its ready for srs weight again.

Had my 2 shakes so far and planning for dinner: Chicken parmesan (breaded with egg whites, bread crumbs, parmesan chicken and garlic with a serving of smart choice penne all baked with FF mozzarella)

[TheReverend]

^ that pic gets me every time.

Tuesday:

Just finished a few miles of fasted cardio. Then fixed my 2 scoops ON straw banana whey shake with oats to break my IF.

Still delicious.

Gonna try and take care of some errands and then hit the gym in an hour or so.

Back day in hypertrophy week:

Pull downs (chin grip) 3x15
Seated rows 3x15
Sumo DLs 3x15
Straight bar curls 3x15
Inclined sit ups.

Post workout shake (2 scoops whey, creatine)

Then hit a few more cardio miles.

I'm thinking I'll hit Moe's again for dinner tonight. Damn burrito is delicious and craving it something fierce right now.

i know right

son y u no do pullups

[TheReverend]

Idk. After judging my "strength" based off of pull ups for 5 straight years, I'm just sick of them I guess?

yeah but your back would be so much stronger. look at it this way i can dead 425+ but i can barely squat 225 so theres really no logical explanation for that except my back is just strong as **** from pullups

My knees are what holds me back from deadlifts, def not my back. It's alllllllllllllllllways my strongest muscle group even over chest (dem juicy teddies)

Honestly even when I was in I raised my pullup #s through doing pulldowns and just dropping weight... never really from doing pull ups.
